Poor little JBS14! He/she never had a chance at life. :brknhrt: I feel it necessary to document this tiny life because it mattered. This season here started out on such a bright note with a new camera and an egg and hopeful parents. Nature can just be cruel at times. Fly high and free little JBS14 :cry1:

This is the hatch announcement from JBS --

I'm not sure if this was anything of concern on 14's side but thought I would put it here anyway---perhaps an injury?? :dunno:

There is always the possibility of a second clutch. I guess we will just have to stay tuned to this pair for a while. :brknhrt:

**Connection to the Eagle Tower Camera has been lost due to extreme winter weather. A new live stream will be posted once we are able to get connection to the camera system.**

JBS14 Eaglet passed away due to unknown causes on Saturday, January 23rd. We are saddened by this unfortunate turn of events. The camera will stay live as we look for signs of the adults returning for a second clutch.

Chat will be suspended until further notice.

Exciting news! Our American Bald Eagles are still on the wetland property and have built a new nest about 500 feet from the Eagle Tower. We have been observing them since the passing of JBS14. A new nest was constructed, bedding is being added, and the eagle pair is possibly preparing for a second clutch.
.

Currently, we have no confirmation of egg(s) in the new nest. We will respect their privacy and decision to relocate and will not be installing a camera for this new location.
We welcome you to visit the Wetland Center to watch the eagles in their new nesting territory. We have increased the protected zone to a 1,500-foot radius. Please observe and respect our “no entry” signs for the protected zone and enjoy the eagles at a safe distance.

Updates will be posted periodically as new observations are made.
The Eagle Tower Camera is now live on our YouTube channel.
While the new nest is not visible from the camera, please enjoy the view as there will be other wildlife activity happening on the tower

March 10th: I spent a couple of hours with the eagle pair. They had taken root, literally, perched in a tree about 100 ft to the south of the nest. They didn't move the entire time span. This would confirm that, at this time, there are no eggs in the nest to be incubated. They did raise enough energy to yell at a Red-tailed Hawk that had drifted too close. This tree to the left (south) is a favored perch and a good place to start when searching for our pair.

A surprise from the JBS Wetlands yesterday!! :woohoo:


John Bunker Sands Wetland Center

Out of an abundance of caution and your safety, we have just decided to reschedule our Before the S’mores Bald Eagle event. One of our team members has tested positive for covid and there may have been exposure to our other team members. We have rescheduled the event for Friday, May 21, 2021. This is actually a blessing in disguise when it comes to the eagles. As you know, the eagles have built a new nest and they are currently sitting on an egg, maybe two. By the May date, the egg(s) should be hatched and we will be able to see the eaglet(s)! Registration is currently closed while we update our event page. Registration will reopen on Saturday, March 27. So if you couldn’t make it this month, please consider registering for the new date!

BACK IN BUSINESS: Some of the Wetland Staff began to see our eagles involved in nesting/incubation behavior about a week ago. John and I spent a couple of hours observing the new nest site today (Mar 22nd) . Around 10AM Mom showed up and took over incubation duties from Dad. It's hard to get a firm date for when the eggs were laid but likely between the 10th and 15th of March. This would put the hatch date in the latter half of April.
